Version 1.6 has not been released yet. You can get a version quite close to the official 1.6 one by downloading the source code from the SVN archive and compiling it yourself. That's what we are mostly doing here... Since you left your OS unspecified (Win32, Linux, Mac OS??) I can't you tell more. If you are a Windows person, there are precompiled versions available here:

You probably won't see any SVN updates since Cartrite's computer crashed a while back. He was kind enough to post the updates for us who know nothing about compiling source code. You'll have to wait until the official release or until Cartrite gets his computer up and running again.

Well since I do have Win32 compilation set up on XP and have space over at Celestial Matters I could provide the Win32 executable (assuming my Celestial Matters friends and cartrite in particular would approve of this)...

...alternatively it might be better to set up "unstable version" downloads on SourceForge.

Ihaven't had a win32 svn version available now for some time. My web sites are gone and I lost the last executable I did on my 200 gb IDE drive which I was not able to recover. I was able to get my old computer running about half way but I still haven't got a new drive so I can install Windows XP. Right now I'm only running Linux.

So anyone that wants to take over building win32 svn versions, well, I can't stand in anyone's way if I'm not able to do this anymore. ..............got my approval.But phoenix has a link to svn executables in his signature, so I'm not the one to ask anymore.viewtopic.php?p=112764#p112764cartrite

I will upload the first in a few minutes, I need to move from notebook to desktop to compile. (Edit: ready, tonight's version is already up and downloadable. If anybody finds it useful, just drop me a line, so I keep doing it.)

Please specify the details of your hardware and software configuration, including graphics hardware and display device drivers. I hope you didn't simply overlay it on top of your current Celestia installation. That'll certainly break things.

Unfortunately, it sounds like bugs in the radeon driver. v1.6 uses more OpenGL V2 functions than v1.5.

You both might try running Celestia with a less demanding render mode.As a test, please run the old version of Celestia, type a Ctrl-V until you see "Basic" flash on the screen, then exit and run the new version of Celestia. It'll start in Basic render mode and won't try to use v2 functions.

Does it still crash?

Yes

This is the newest version celestia-svn4690 which is not crashing for me, in every rendering mode. Even 160rc0 is not crashing, when its celestia.exe is overwritten by 4690 one.

I think that the error is caused by the fact that I built some of the libraries with MSVC 2008 and you don't have the the VC++ 9.0 runtime libraries installed on your system. I built Celestia itself with MSVC 2005 to avoid just the sort of problem you're reporting, but forgot to use the same compiler to make the support libraries.
